Kuala Lumpur - Part 1

Written on: 06.05.12

I got to Kuala Lumpur around 11am this morning
after travelling since 12pm yesterday from Darwin. It took about an hour to get
into the city with the taxi. The taxi driver was very nice and warned me about
which taxis I shouldn’t take in the city and told me about some places to see.

I treated myself to a single room in a hotel in
KL, although I’m not sure I can say I treated myself when it cost around the
same as a hostel dorm in Australia. I will write more about the hotel in a post
of its own.

After I had taken a quick shower and changed my
clothes to “wash the journey off” I walked to the Pavilion shopping centre.

The reason I thought of going to KL at all was
because of this blog by Su. The main Delectable shop is in Mid Valley City in
KL, but since it’s my first day I decided to just go to the small shop inside
the Pavilion… Mmmmm… So many yummy treats!! I wanted to buy all of them! I
decided on one of the giant macaroons, it was really yummy! I’ll probably buy
some more treats when I go to the big shop in Mid Valley.

As I had forgotten to ask for a map at the hotel I
just walked around in the Pavilion and the shops on the street between it and
the hostel, since I’m here for almost a week I’ve got plenty of time to explore
the rest on other days.

I also bought an adapter as I was walking around
the city. I haven’t got a working phone until I’m back in Norway, but I’ve got
free Wi-Fi at the hotel, but that doesn’t really mean much if I can’t charge my
laptop…

I had a quick look around in the souvenir shops
when I was walking around the city, just checking the prices of postcards and
looking for stickers for my suitcase. I want a Kuala Lumpur sticker, and also a
Malaysian flag sticker, but I couldn’t find any stickers! I hope I find some
when I have more of a look around the city in the next few days.
